first nations
another term to describe indian or aboriginal peoples indigenous to north america. has gained wider usage in canada, while in the united states the term “native american” is more common.
my friend’s ancestry is part first nations; her mother is cree.
a confusing term and increasingly politically correct term that is legally undefined, but generally refers to the indigenous peoples (the “first peoples”) of canada. the use of the term native american is uncommon in canada; though technically correct (as canada is part of the north american continent), native american generally refers more specifically to indigenous peoples of the united states. native canadian is not commonly used, but terms such as natives and autochthones (canadian french) are.
technically, first nation discludes those of inuit or metis descent, though all these groups const-tute “aboriginal peoples” in canada.
the term is rarely used in the united states in reference to the native peoples inhabiting its borders.
what do you think of those first nations getting all of those benefits from the government, eh?
another word for native americans cl-ssically known as “native indians” but now for a more aboriginal definition this term is now used.
sioux, iroquois and navajo are all first nations.
